We had the pleasure of using Morocco Desert Gate transfer service during our stay in Casablanca, and we can’t say enough good things! Since our arrival at the airport, Abdoul welcomed us with a smile and a much appreciated gesture: he presented us with typical local sweets, an attention that immediately made us feel at home.
Abdoul is a cheerful, lively and very helpful guy, always careful to make every move and every experience unique and fun. He accompanied us from our Riad to the Agafay desert and the city of Essaouira, sharing with us stories and curiosities of Morocco that made the trip even more interesting.
We are really happy to have chosen Abdoul as our driver and we recommend him without a doubt to anyone who wants to have an authentic and pleasant experience in Morocco. Thank you very much for everything, Abdoul!

We have just concluded an unforgettable trip organized by Morocco Desert Gate. From start to finish the experience was flawless, and the planned itinerary exceeded our expectations. The people he chose as guides made us feel truly at home, answering all our doubts/curiosities.
He let us fully experience Morocco, eating and walking around local places, which not everyone does. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Riads he chose so beautiful. You can see that they are well designed, and also comfortable for those of us who wanted to take a walk in the center in the evening. If you are looking for an agency that makes you feel at home and introduces you to the real Morocco, I recommend you contact them!
